Young Dumb & Broke Lyrics
So you're just thinking of me
Just like I know you should
I can not give you everything, you know I wish I could
I’m so high at the moment
I'm so caught up in this
Yeah, we're just young, dumb and broke
We still got love to give
[Chorus: Elton John]
While we’re young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
Yadadadadadadada
Yadadadadadada
Yadadadadadadada
Young, dumb, broke, high school kids
[Verse 2: Elton John]
We have so much in common
We argue all the time
You always say I'm wrong, but...
I'm pretty sure I'm right
What's fun about commitment?
When we have our life to live
Yeah, we're just young dumb and broke
But we still got love to give
While we're young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
Yadadadadadadada
Yadadadadadada
Yadadadadadadada
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
[Bridge: Elton John]
Jump and we think - do it all in the game of love
Love
Run into sin, do it all in the name of fun
Fun
Whoa-oa-oa
I'm so high at the moment
I’m so caught up in this
Yeah, we’re just young, dumb and broke
But we still got love to give
[Chorus: Elton John & Khalid]
While we're young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
Yadadadadadadada
Yadadadadadada
Yadadadadadadada
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
Yadadadadadadada
Yadadadadadada
Yadadadadadadada
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
Yeah, whoa
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
About
Following the success of Texan R&B artist Khalid’s “Young Dumb & Broke,” musical legend Elton John took to Spotify’s studios to cover the track, with the help of Khalid himself. At the time, “Young Dumb & Broke” was one of Elton’s favorite tracks, explaining to Rolling Stone:
I discovered Khalid’s music a few years ago and have been a fan ever since… We finally met when I played his home town of El Paso last year. It’s a thrill to be a small part of any new artists’ journey, and it’s been wonderful to see his star continue to rise and rise. “Young Dumb & Broke” is a fabulous song, one of my favorites, and I’m really pleased that he liked my cover enough to contribute vocals.
Together, Elton John and Khalid transformed this chill R&B track into an adult contemporary ballad, showing versatility at its finest.
